Recent financial results showed the company’s strong performance coming from its international markets, despite signing a PPA with beverage company PepsiCo in Spain to procure 590MW of renewable energy.
Furthermore, Iberdrola recently signed a US$562 million green loan with the European Investment Bank to finance 1.8GW of Spanish renewables portfolio.
